At the start of 2025, Saudi Arabia witnessed a major milestone in the electric vehicle market as Tesla officially announced its entry into the Kingdom. This was more than just another headline, it marked a turning point in the country’s journey toward sustainable mobility. The move aligns perfectly with Vision 2030, which emphasizes the expansion of clean energy and electric transportation. With this step, Tesla’s name became firmly established in the Saudi market after being associated for years with Europe and the United States.

Tesla’s First Steps in Saudi Arabia


In March 2025, Tesla made its official debut in Saudi Arabia through launch events held in Riyadh, signaling the start of a new chapter in the local market. Just a month later, in April, the company opened its first showroom in Riyadh, complete with a service center to meet after sales needs.

Tesla’s presence did not stop in the capital. The brand quickly expanded with temporary pop-up stores in Jeddah and Dammam, allowing customers and EV enthusiasts to experience Tesla models firsthand and explore the brand up close.


With this rapid growth, Tesla also began evaluating the establishment of a permanent official dealership in the Kingdom. This move highlights the company’s commitment to offering a fully integrated customer experience, from showcasing its cars to providing full after sales support. It also reinforces the confidence that Tesla’s presence in Saudi Arabia is not a short term experiment but the beginning of a long term, sustainable expansion.

Showrooms and Services Across Multiple Cities


The launch of Tesla showrooms and service centers stands as one of the clearest signs of the brand’s commitment to strengthening its presence in the Saudi market. Through its flagship center in Riyadh, customers can now explore different models, learn about their advanced features, and benefit from certified maintenance and technical support.

At the same time, the temporary pop up stores opened in Jeddah and Dammam added another dimension to the experience, giving people across the Kingdom the chance to step into Tesla’s world without having to travel to the capital.


In addition, Tesla’s official Saudi website allows customers to book test drives directly, offering a first hand opportunity to experience the performance and cutting edge technology that the brand is known for. This move has boosted engagement with the public and introduced a wider audience to the concept of electric mobility and Tesla’s innovative approach.

Available Models in the Saudi Market


From the start, Tesla introduced a selection of its most iconic models to meet the diverse needs of Saudi customers. The lineup currently includes:

  • Tesla Model 3: the globally renowned electric sedan, celebrated for its impressive performance and exceptional energy efficiency.

  • Tesla Model Y: the compact family crossover that blends practicality with generous space and smart technology.

  • Tesla Cybertruck: the futuristic electric pickup that stirred global attention with its bold design and remarkable off road capability.


This range reflects Tesla’s commitment to offering choices that suit every customer, whether it is those seeking a practical sedan, families looking for a versatile crossover, or enthusiasts drawn to the innovation and power of a uniquely designed pickup.

Tesla’s Future in Saudi Arabia


With Tesla’s official entry into Saudi Arabia and the introduction of its full range of services, the company’s future in the local market is clearly moving toward rapid growth. Strong government support for clean energy initiatives, combined with the ongoing development of charging infrastructure, plays a vital role in boosting the adoption of electric vehicles in general and Tesla in particular.


In conclusion, Tesla’s presence in the Kingdom has become a tangible reality with the opening of showrooms, service centers, and the availability of key models along with test drive opportunities. Looking ahead, the brand is expected to expand further in the coming years, positioning itself as a central player in the shift toward sustainable electric mobility in line with Saudi Arabia’s ambitious Vision 2030.
